Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Blaine spotted this postal jeep article from last year. I’ve added my comments (read corrections) to it, but the author hasn’t approved it as of the writing of this post.
I’m really surprised that so many of theses Postal Jeeps have survived over the decades, I see many of then for sale on Facebook Marketplace. A younger generation has taken a liking to the Postal Jeeps and do restorations and amazing modifications.
A big part of the survival rate is the fact that decades ago, you were able to buy used Postal Jeeps at local Post Offices with new paint jobs for around $1500.00 more or less. Drove a couple of these back in the years, both right & left hand drive. They wandered all over the road, but were lots of fun to drive.
Mike, agreed. Not so cheap anymore, but there are still some good DJ deals out there.
I can’t speak for everyone born in the late 80s, but for me probably the most attractive aspect of these vehicles is how simple they are. You can see what works and how it’s related to other parts which makes maintenance/repairs easy.
Instead of everything being electronic, these are beautifully mechanical. Having grown up in a time when manual labor & manufacturing was in decline, I find there is a joy in working on these vehicles – a quiet in the task.
Upon seeing it, I clearly recall that ad with Mr. Zip in the mail sack!
